No idea.

It can be time to do so, yes. bzr 0.8 has been released, so the major
reasons not to use it went away.

I suppose this is due to the way bzr handles atomic writes:

Instead of doing

  upload file

it does (conceptually)

  upload <random-temp-name>
  move <random-temp-name> file

If "file" already existed before, the POSIX semantics tell you that
"file" atomically becomes the new file. The Windows semantics tells
you that it's not possible.

I don't know how bzr is supposed to work if the remote server is a
windows machine.

I suggest that you continue this discussion on the bazaar-ng mailing
list. They'll be interested in your problem anyway.

Yes, it is.

Another option is to use gna.org to publish your archive. It should
work both with bzr and baz.
